RAJOURI, May 28: A theft attempt was foiled at Shri Bholi Mata Ashram, located at Dalogra near Rajouri city along the National Highway on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday.
The alert cops deployed in the Ashram caught both the thieves and handed them over to the Rajouri Police Station. Reports said at around 3:30 am, two thieves crossed the 10 to 12 feet high wall of the ashram and reached the ashram premises and were breaking the gate of a temple inside the ashram with a hammer. The alert policemen caught the thieves red handed and handed over the police at the Rajouri Thana.
As soon as information about the theft attempt was received on Tuesday morning, members of Hindu organizations, members of Bholi Mata Ashram Charitable Trust and members of Bholi Mata Committee Jawahar Nagar reached the spot and demanded strict action against the accused persons. Activists of Hindu organizations namely- Gaurav Mahajan, Raja Ratan Singh, Ashram Charitable Trust member Pushpinder Gupta, Amit Suri, Gaurav Verma, Anoop Kapoor etc. expressed their strong anger and said that even before this there had been three to four attempts of theft in the Ashram. But every time the police only registered a case.
Expressing strong anger, they said that about a month ago, some suspicious persons had entered this temple at mid night but the police have not yet caught those suspects. Members of Hindu organizations demanded that the two arrested thieves should be interrogated rigorously to find out who is behind them and who are the people involved in their entire gang so that such theft attempts can be stopped.
Meanwhile, Rajouri police has registered a case under various sections and started further investigation.
